Module err

This is the module that contains the error types used in neli

There are five main types:

• Nlmsgerr - an application error returned from netlink as a packet.
• RouterError - errors returned by NlRouter.
• SocketError - errors returned by NlSocketHandle.
• DeError - error while deserializing
• SerError - error while serializing

Design decisions

All errors implement std::error::Error in an attempt to allow them to be used in conjunction with Result for easier error management even at the protocol error level.
